Angelica Gero

Possessing more than a decade of coaching and playing experience, Angelica Gero was hired as head coach of the Kenyon College women’s lacrosse program in the summer of 2023. For the previous five lacrosse seasons, Gero served as head coach at Aquinas College, a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) institution in Grand Rapids, Michigan.


Generating steady improvements, Gero’s last three Aquinas teams combined for a 30-14 record. Her 2022 team went 7-2 in Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) play and got to the conference semifinal. Last season, her squad went 8-1 in conference contests, defeated two nationally-ranked teams along the way, earned their own national rank as high as No. 9 and got to the conference final. In that same three-year span, the Saints produced 17 all-conference honorees, four conference Players of the Year and four NAIA All-Americans.


Gero’s players also produced impressive results in the classroom, placing 29 student-athletes on the WHAC All-Academic Team over the last four seasons. At the conclusion of the 2023 season, Gero had two players named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-America Team and each of her last two teams were included on the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association All-Academic Honor list.


Gero has previous coaching experience, for two seasons, at Adams State University, an NCAA Division II school in Colorado, and as the first head coach for the NCAA Division II Felician University women's lacrosse program in New Jersey. While at Aquinas, Gero found time to serve as the assistant director and head coach for the club team Pure Advantage Lacrosse.


Gero attended Georgian Court University in Lakewood, New Jersey where she played lacrosse, was a four-year starter, a two-time all-conference honoree and helped the Lions win two conference championships.


With her hiring, Gero became the 11th head coach in the 51-year history of the Kenyon program.
